used to get just over 13.5 or so

I dont know you Rob, and I'm sure you're a great guy, in fact I think you
may have answered a question of mine a while back. Howerver I don't see how
you can get that kinda mileage out of a "97 V8 SLT 4x4". I suppose if you
drove with a 50 mph tail wind or something but thats contrary to just about
every other post on the MPG subject and its 10-15% better than I get with a
V-6. No offense mind you I'm not calling you a liar but the facts just dont
jibe.
